#MeToo unless it's #Palestine: Why Western feminists ignore proven Israeli #rape of #Palestinians

"The ongoing violence endured by Palestinian women and children continues to be glaringly neglected. Similarly, the recent UN report from June 12, 2024, appears to have gone unnoticed, failing to stir any conscience or prompt a substantial response.
...It’s unsettling but not unexpected that there appears to be little sympathy for Arab men, who are often portrayed in deeply rooted racist stereotypes as inherently misogynistic and barbaric.
...Remaining silent on one of the worst atrocities against women and children in our lifetime is indefensible. When 70% of those killed are women and children; when Palestinian women are digging through rubble to find their missing children; when mothers are holding their lifeless babies; when families are burning to death in refugee camps while they sleep; when mothers watch their children die from hunger as a result of Israel’s starvation campaign; and when children cry for food amidst famine conditions, silence is not a matter of being ‘politically correct’ — it is a betrayal of feminist principles."

Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing, said they handed over all living Israeli soldier prisoners in their custody and the corpses they could access. Remaining bodies require special equipment and extensive efforts to retrieve, the resistance group added.

Hamas warned repeatedly during Israel’s genocidal campaign that indiscriminate strikes killed both Palestinian citizens and Israeli soldier prisoners.

I need nothing from the life but my home 😭

I don't know how to describe my feelings. I'm very depressed. I'm very sad. I want to scream.

Please don't leave us alone. Please stand with us. Please keep us in your thoughts

A shocking investigation by Al-Araby TV exposes systematic sexual violence, including gang rape, by Israeli prison authorities against Palestinian detainees.

Filmed using archives from the Palestinian Prisoners Society in Ramallah, the report presents documented testimonies from men who confirmed being raped by Israeli prison guards, sometimes with sticks, and in other cases by police dogs.
